<title
>Modem-sessies</title>

<para
>Een modemsessie stelt u in staat direct met het modem te werken. U typt commando's en het modem zal antwoorden. Om een modemsessie te krijgen, wanneer er geen verbinding actief is, opent u de dialoog <guibutton
>&kppp; instellen</guibutton
>, daarna <guilabel
>Modem</guilabel
> <guibutton
>Terminal</guibutton
>. Dit zal een venster voor interactieve instelling van het modem openen. Probeer <userinput
><command
>ATZ</command
></userinput
> in te typen (wat uw modem zal resetten). U zou een antwoord OK moeten krijgen. Gebruik <menuchoice
><guimenu
>Bestand</guimenu
><guimenuitem
>Sluiten</guimenuitem
></menuchoice
> om de sessie te beëindigen.</para>

<sect1 id="modem-profiles">
<title
>Modem-profielen</title>
<para
>One reason you might want to send the modem commands directly is if you have a set of modem configurations you want to keep, and not have to specify for every connection. A good way to do that is via modem profiles. Modems can have several stored profiles numbered 0,1,... <command
>AT&amp;V</command
> can be used to view them all. The default profile is usually 0 (this can be changed via <command
>AT&amp;Y</command
>.) The profile currently in use is called the <quote
>active</quote
> profile.</para>

<para
>When you change a setting, the active profile is modified. The <command
>ATZ</command
> command will have the modem load the default profile, erasing any changes you have made. To save changes, Load the profile you want to change via <command
>ATZ<replaceable
>n</replaceable
></command
> (where <replaceable
>n</replaceable
> is the profile number). Make the changes you want, then save it with <command
>AT&amp;W<replaceable
>n</replaceable
></command
>. To have kppp use the profile you want, change the modem initialization string (<guibutton
>Modem Commands</guibutton
> <guilabel
>Initialization String</guilabel
> on the <guilabel
>Modem</guilabel
> tab). For example <command
>ATZ1</command
> will have the kppp reset the modem and use stored profile #1.</para>

<para
>If you want reset you modem to get back to some known starting point, use <command
>AT&amp;F&amp;W</command
> to set the active profile to the factory defaults, and store those settings as the default profile.</para>

<sect1 id="modem-hangup">
<title
>Het modem laten ophangen</title>

<para
>Sometimes you may find that &kppp; has difficulties hanging up the modem. This is likely the result of a mismatch between &kppp; settings and those of the modem. A standard modem uses two methods to decide to hangup: <link linkend="hangup-command-method"
>Command</link
>, and <link linkend="hangup-dtr-method"
><acronym
>DTR</acronym
></link
>. The Command method involves sending an escape sequence to the modem, which puts it in command mode, then issuing the hangup command (<command
>ATH</command
>).</para>

<para
>Outside of &kppp;, when configuring the <application
>pppd</application
> package manually, it's often helpful to use the command method, so that one can exit a terminal session, and then start <application
>pppd</application
> without having the modem hangup. In most other situations, the <acronym
>DTR</acronym
> method is preferred, as it is simpler.</para>

<sect2 id="hangup-dtr-method">
<title
><acronym
>DTR</acronym
> (<command
>AT&amp;Dn</command
>) methode</title>

<para
>The <acronym
>DTR</acronym
> method will have the modem hangup whenever &kppp; stops using the modem. If you obtain a modem session, and query the state via <command
>AT&amp;V</command
>, and you can see among the displayed settings for the active profile a <command
>&amp;D0</command
>, then the <acronym
>DTR</acronym
> hangup method is disabled. To enable the <acronym
>DTR</acronym
> method, use the <guibutton
>Terminal</guibutton
> button to get a modem session, then:</para>

<title
>Hoe de <acronym
>DTR</acronym
>-methode werkt</title>

<para
>Whenever the Data Terminal Ready (<acronym
>DTR</acronym
>) line on the serial line between the host computer and the modem goes high, the modem hangs up. When &kppp; opens the serial port, the <acronym
>DTR</acronym
> line is pulled low, on an external modem, you can see the <acronym
>DTR</acronym
> (or <acronym
>TR</acronym
>) light come on when this happens. When the <acronym
>TR</acronym
> light goes out (because &kppp; has closed the serial port, or something worse!), the modem will hangup.</para>

<title
>Commandomethode</title>

<para
>The other way to have a modem hang up when connected (used when <command
>AT&amp;D<replaceable
>n</replaceable
></command
> where <replaceable
>n</replaceable
> is not <returnvalue
>2</returnvalue
>) is to have the modem accept the command when a session is in progress. To have it hang up properly, get a modem session, and set the guard time to a short interval like so:</para>

<screen
><userinput
><command
>ATZ</command
></userinput>
<userinput
><command
>ATS12=5</command
></userinput>
<userinput
><command
>AT&amp;W</command
></userinput
>
</screen>

<para
>Gebruik daarna de schuifregelaar <guilabel
>Bewakingstijd</guilabel
> in de sectie modemcommando's om het register (<varname
>S12</varname
> overeen te laten komen met deze waarde <returnvalue
>5</returnvalue
>. Het modem zou dan netjes op moeten hangen.</para>

<sect3>
<title
>Hoe de Commandomethode werkt</title>

<para
>When the local modem is connected to a remote modem, it is in the <quote
>connect</quote
> state, where it passes all characters it receives to the remote modem without interpretation. To have the modem accept the characters as commands for itself, one must put the modem into the command state. The escape code does this.</para>

<para
>De escape-code is gedefinieerd als drie tijdintervallen waarvan de lengte gedefinieerd is door <varname
>S12</varname
> in een vijftigste van een seconde.</para>

<itemizedlist>
<listitem>
<para
>Quiet (must last more than <varname

</listitem>
<listitem>
<para
>Escape character (defined by the register <varname

<para
>Once the modem is in the command state, you can send it commands. To have it hang up, send the command <command
>ATH</command
>. The escape codes and the hangup string used by &kppp; are shown in the <link linkend="modem-commands"
><guilabel
>Modem Commands</guilabel
></link

<sect1 id="tone-dialing-speedup">
<title
>Make Tone dialing faster</title>

<para
>If you can use tone dialing, the amount of time it takes to dial can be changed using the <varname
>S11</varname
> register. It gives the duration (in 100hundreds of a second) to send each tone while dialing. The default is usually 95 (almost a second.) How fast you can dial depends on the phone company's switching equipment which handles your line. The minimum duration is 50, almost twice as fast, and that speed often works. </para>
